Hi

What happens when you run this command:

/opt/ignite/lbin/list_expander -l -f
/var/opt/ignite/clients/hostname/recovery/fhist

...on another archive as well as the failed one?

Its easy enough to check /etc/mnttab also, just cat /etc/mnttab. If it doesn't look exact to /etc/fstab then

mv /etc/mnttab /etc/mnttab_old
mount -a

This will rebuild /etc/mnttab.

As suggested, run the list_expander and check the result!
I got this error once when I had a link under /usr which pointed to itself.
It may also be possible that you have errors in those files... or unmounted filesystems. Do you get any error when you do a "mount -a"?

My 2 cents,
Armin
